If you like to chat more than you like to play, or if sometimes you prefer to chat than to play a game, here you have the "Full chat"! It's a 'game' on Kongregate in which there's just a chat. But this has already been created, so what's the difference? This chat is very big. It's large enough to occupy nearly all your screen and if you just want to chat it's more comfortable than a regular game's chat. This has been created by SavageWolf. These are the steps to be able to chat in a large chat:

5 Differences is an amazing game made by the awesome developer Ivory, and it's his first game in the "X Differences" series. Complete with beautiful scenery, some humor and a melancholy mood, 5 Differences is one of the most interesting games on Kongregate.

5 Differences is an amazing puzzle made by the great developer Ivory, and it's his first game in the "X Differences" saga. Complete with beautiful background, some humor and a melancholy mood, 5 Differences is one of the most unique games on Kongregate.

Anyway, because many of us don't want to have to spend an hour staring at one level, badly wanting to hit our heads against a wall, here is a guide for if you're stuck at one part.

Each level has a certain amount of differences possible, though only five will be included. Here is a list of these possible differences, so you can find the ones

Level One

- The 'C' in 'Differences'.- The man on the bench.- The birds.- One of the branches of the tree, in between the two upper branches.- Top of the tallest building.- The tree's shadow.- The nearest line on the sidewalk.

Level Two

- The man in the yellow's sandals.- The red and orange paint buckets.- The man in the brown shirt.- The green and yellow paint buckets.- The lines on the sidewalk.- The building closest to the tree.

Level Three

- The robot's claw.- The robot's glasses.- Part of the bushes, near the tree and almost directly above the sign.- "The Grass" on the sign.- The sun and the cloud.- The very upper right tree.- The third tree right from the stairs.

Level Four

Note: All differences are located on the sign (which happens to be a reference to the song "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead, by the way).

- The dot between "Park Area".- "Be a patient better driver".- "No more microwaved dinners and saturated fats".- "No killing moths and putting boiling water on ants".- "No bad dreams".- "Trash bins are for park use only".- "Pets must be kept on a leash".- "Become fitter, happier, and more productive".- "Keep in contact with old friends".- "Never cry in public".- "Not paranoid".

Level Five

Level Six

- The sign next to the stairs.- The shirt of the man with the light.- The top left tree.- Another of the top left trees, this time the color if it's leaves.- The skinny tree right of the stairs.- The shadow of the guitar player.

Level Seven

Level Eight

- The tile nearest to the tree.- Cord coming from the tree, near it's shadow.- Lines of the bench's shadow.- One of the chords hanging of the tree, near it's upper base.- The top of the very left building.- The smallest cloud.- The little... "thing" hanging off of the tree, near the tree's upper left.

Level Nine

Right under the large "GOT DIAMONDS".- The buildings over the got diamonds sign.- The doors on the building with the number (the number depends on how many differences you have left).- The bottom of the door near the hitchhikers thumb.- The backpack behind the hitchhiker.- The model behind the hitchhiker.

Level Twelve

This one is a bit tricky.To make it clear, the 'black' tiles are the darker gray tiles. Just so it isn't as confusing.

- The shadow under the man's feet.- The batch of four tiles (three black tiles around one gray one) near the top.- The black tile near the very left - center of the wall.- The black tile nearest the man's sign, to the left.- The black tile nearest to the left of the man's feet.- The four tiles very near the two tiles mentioned above.- The line of the sidewalk located very much to the right.

And that's all! Hope you enjoyed my walkthrough!If you have any questions, or I missed something, just leave a comment and I'll respond as quickly as I can!

It's good to be king! Or at least, it seems like that would be the deal. In any case, DotvilleDeluxe is a pretty original civilization game, starring a small... dot who has big plans of starting his own kingdom! Starting out as a mere civilian, you work your way up as your community grows larger and more powerful.

So the gameplay is pretty basic. You have the options of building, trading, build your army and overall attempt to do whatever will let your civilization grow. You can build farms, which increases food for dots and trade, marketplaces, which increases your amount of 'bucks', a mine which produces iron, and a 'smithy' which is for weapons. You can trade, which is basically another way of buying, since money is really the only thing you're using to purchase. You can choose the 'army' button, which increases your dot troops, a 'food rate' choice in which you can increase food for your villagers, you can raise or lower the tax rate, and lastly you can make the expensive choice of upgrading your fortress. The game's simplicity makes it fun, and especially easy to get into.That being said, it's easy to get out, too. There are a number of ways you can lose the game, which is why keeping you must keep your dots healthy, happy and free from harm. It's your job to be a good, friendly king who is good to his people.

The illustrations are fairly basic, not sleek nor ugly. It's your standard, fairly-scraggly flash animation that is sufficient for any Flash game of this kind. The set-up is extremely easy and uncomplicated, which does good for the game overall. The only issues of ambiguity is within the game mechanics, where losing can seem simultaneous, which seems to be the game's biggest flaw when you begin.

For this type of game, it seems you lose too easily at first. Everything will be going well, and suddenly you find that your dots run away to never return, and you don't know why. For some it may encourage you to figure out why you lost, and how to prevent it, but for others it may be a large turn-off. It really depends on how much enjoy games like this. This is essentially why it's important to go through the instructions. (it's even in red)

Pros and cons:

Pros:- Simple

- Challenging

- They're dots, that's enough

Cons:- Ambiguous at times

- Repetitive

One of the game's biggest problems is that it gets repetitive very quickly. While being simple is good at the beginning of the game, it can also be a problem if it limits the game's growth. The game turns out to be a bit more suiting for those who have the patience to sit through the same style of levels over and over for a while, with slow progression.It's sort of Travius like, without actually being online. Sometimes it seems like you're doing nothing to get nothing as an outcome, which can be a flaw in a lot of games (perhaps in games in general).

ANYWAY, the game is definitely a lot of fun if you've got patience and some time on your hands. Working to the 50 turn mark can be tedious, but it's definitely quite satisfactory when you make it. The game may not be as good as some of the more polished and intricate Flash games out there, but it's definitely pretty fun.

I'm going to go ahead and give it a 7.5/10!Play Dotville Deluxe on Kongregate!

Elements, by zanzarino, is the game that has been badged today. Elements is an online CCG (collectable card game) in which there are different elements (time, water, darkness...) and different game modes (PVP, PVP Duel...). In my opinion, it's much better than Kongai. And also, one of the best things of this game, is that its content is 100% free!

IntroductionThe goal in this game is, as in every other card game, defeat your opponent. To defeat your opponent you must use different strategies and cards. If you defeat your opponent you'll get money and if you lose you'll lose it. With money you can buy and upgrade cards; you can also sell cards if you need money or don't need a card.

Quick reviewSound: This game's music is nice and relaxing to hear, and it's the sort of music you get in such games, which is good. Its sound and sound effects are awesome as there are sounds for every small detail like playing a card, "killing" a card and other nice effects in-game, 0.9.Difficulty: Its difficulty is okay, as it's not too hard to get all the badges, it's just that you have to spend more time playing to get them. It is good in a way, as it's easy to regain money if you've lost or spent it all, 0.7.Graphics: The graphics are very very nice, as all the cards have a different drawing. These card drawings are also very well drawn and they have been professionally drawn by experts. Also, the quality of this game by zanzarino is very good. I must say that the graphics are one of the best game graphics I have ever seen, 1.Gameplay: Playing this game is fun once you understand how to play it. It's addictive and exciting. This game is a fast card game, which makes it even better as you don't have to wait much, 0.8.Controls: The game only needs to be played with the mouse, which makes its controls good. Understanding the instructions is harder, though, but there are several similar card games in real life which are played similarly, 0.9.Total: My total rating for this game is 4.5 / 5. I really liked this game and think the best thing of it is the whole concept of card games and its graphics. Kongregate's rating as of 12/02/2010: 4.35 / 5.
